Arent you supposed to get all the sleep you can BEFORE baby comes? The medication I am taking is making this very hard. It is 3:56am, I have been awake since 2:42 and I just ate a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. If this continues, I may gain 50 lbs and feel like a walking zombie when baby girl arrives.. ha ha. The terbutaline makes my heart race and the steriods are giving me uncontrollable tremors. I am about to take my last dose of steroids at 4:15 am, so hopefully that will decrease some of the side effects of insomnia. I know, why 4:15 am? Ok, so these meds are required to be taken q 6hrs which inevitably puts a does due in the middle of the night. Weird. Its okay though, I am usually awake about an hour before my dose is due, so I havent had to use my alarm except for one night this week.
Please do not think I am complaining because I know this is what is best for Baby Girl. I am just merely sharing my journey :).

OK, listen, I think you can complain a little or as much as you feel like:) No sleep can make you pretty cranky. Don't feel bad about it. I know you would not do anything less.
Wishing we could be there to help out more, but we are thinking of you and baby girl Reinberg everyday and sending good thoughts, and this baby cannot wait to play with her/his older cousin =) And Al! Keep it up Mama, you are doing great!
You are amazing, I'm sorry you are feeling crummy. I wish I could be there to help in any way I could! Love you, you are a great Mom!
